NocoBase runs two release lines at once while the v3 client rewrite absorbs the AI work
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Aha! and Tability — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Aha! is teaching its assistant the customer's own standards, then spreading design systems across the suite.
Aha!'s releases run on a weekly cadence and split between Elle, the AI assistant, and the Builder and Roadmaps surfaces it operates on. Elle gained user-defined skills, then a dedicated screen in My work; design systems arrived in Builder and have now been extended to prototypes in Roadmaps. Collaboration basics like user groups fill the gaps.
Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.
Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

The pattern is a customer-configurable assistant tied to customer-configurable output. Skills encode the team's standards for how work gets done; design systems encode the company's brand for what gets built. Both make the generated artifact reflect the buyer rather than the vendor default, and both are being propagated across products rather than kept in one.
Expect design systems and Elle skills to keep spreading into the remaining Aha! products, and Elle's dedicated screen to accumulate more of the work surface.

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.
Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
